LED joint venture in China with LED chipmaker Formosa Epitaxy

Demand for LED Linear high bay light was being restricted by intense price competition in the CCFL segment, and inventory levels remain high. Against this backdrop, Amtran was looking to diversify it business into the high-ASP LED lighting market. It is expected to focus on 5-7watt LED light bulbs at a price range around US$10 for Amtran.

In the LED lighting, Amtran had set up a LED joint venture in China with LED chipmaker Formosa Epitaxy and packaging house Unity Opto Technology, which the source supplying was Epistar and packaging services were provided by Everlight Electronics. Also, Amtran together with Everlight and LG Display had set up a packaging house in Wujiang, China. But the possibility of entering the LED lighting market was needed to study.

With the BenQ Group's original plan, it was to make Lextar Electronics set up an LED lighting brand and develop LED light bulbs, light bars and other products. But, Lextar has become an OEM partner. So, led high bay light has chosen BenQ to run the LED lighting brand without conflict.

Currently, The BenQ Group includes LCD panel maker Au Optronics (AUO) and developing high-end LED lighting producer Qisda, which has entered the high-end lighting supply chain in Europe. So Qisda's design center was expected to support the BenQ's lighting products development.

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
